2023-24 Russian Nationals Men's Free Skate

[Pairluv]

Prediction
Aliev and Ignatov will skate the first 1/3 of the program and then spend the rest trying to breath
Gumennik will end up second or third
Semenenko will end up second or third
Savosin who knows?
Dikidzhi will win. Maybe.

Andrei injured his tailbone yesterday. He was considering withdrawal. He hasn't skated a single FS after an illness.

The decision was made at the last minute. Mark was warned that it was possible that Andrei would not be skating.

Well done Roman! I kinda forgot you were here! But that was a fun program, loved the finger guns

 

[yume]

Samsonov is doing some remontada.

 

[elektra blue]

Makar the robot matador

 

[lariko]

Ignatov!

 

[yume]

I'm too used to the absolute silence during programs at cup stages. Does TAT HAVE TO talk?

Ouch. Even more respect.

 

[elektra blue]

stamina, Makador! stamina!

Unfortunately, she’s like the Donkey, shutting her up is impossible

 

[yume]

We can see the exact moment Makar starts dying.

 

[snwnprv]

Wow! Umnitsa, Makar!

 

[icewhite]

did Rukavitsin's camp get the preparation right...?

 

[lariko]

I am honestly glad Ignatov doesn't do any corrida or other bull running activity. He'd tease the bull into the frenzy, do a couple of great twirls, then when it comes to running away...bull wins!

 

[EdgeCall]

As strange as this Habanera cover is, it fits his style well. Not perfectly clean, but quite expressive performance.

 

[elektra blue]

Makador survived even if he needs oxygen asap

 

[anonymoose_au]

Makar did it! He survived a whole FS! Maybe Coach R has got them on stamina training after all!

Oh I though Liza might have wandered off, but she's still here

 

[yume]

Babe survived. Not perfect but much better than usual. Those last spins levels show his lack of stamina.

 

[icewhite]

yeah, he was dead at the end, but that must have been his best competition in like 30 years
